For the'purpose of making a safe and easy start the machine and its operating'mechaneror, residing at New York; in the county oflewYork and State of New York, have in,-

yentedtnew and useful Improvements in Flying Machines, of which the following is a specification. v

This invention relates to flying machines and has for its objectladevice-of simple and cheap construction and readily controlled and easilyoperated as will be more fully de-' scribed. in the following specification, set

forthin theclaims and, illustrated in the drawings ac'companyin this application U'where 1t will be seen that the same refer-a,

same parts in the various views;

Figurel is a perspective'view of my -improved'flying machine. Fig. -'2'is a front Fig. 3 is aside elevationof ence characters are used to designate the ism 'are mounted on a-platform 5 provided with wheels6 to render it portable and an 'engine or motor of s'uflicient size is inclosed in the housing 7. h

om t

Arising e platform 5 is an upright- 8 forked at. the lower part and carrying. near its upper end a horizontal shaft 9 braced by means of the stays 10 from the platform and the upright, and hinged on this shaft are lat oral-arms 11 whose outer end are connected with the shaft 9 by means of braces 12.

The rear end of theshaft 9 carries the tail 13which ismade up of a cross piece 14 connected with the shaft by wire braces .15 and covered with silk or some similar light' material and which is triangular in shape.

The arms 11 are provided with certain parts to be hereinafter described and which ;constitute the Wings of the machine and,

these wings are oscillatedby means of sectors 16 whose centers are the hinged ends of the .arms 11 and they carry on their curved faces ropes or cords 1'7 and 18 which are con-f nected with a crank. arm 19 on a'short shaft supported within the'fork 20 atthe base of the upright 8. This short shaft carries a sprocket wheel 21 and on its other end a crank ,arm' 22 and to the latter is connected the cords or ropes 23whose outer ends are socured toth'e upper ends of the segments 16.

The sprocket wheel 21 is driven by means used at this point.

- of a sprocket wheel22 on the driving shaft '23. of the motor and through the medium of a chain 24. The -motor shaft is thrown in and out of o eration by means of the clutch 25 so that t fiem'achine' may be started or sto ped instantly at the will .of the operator an speed moderatin devices may also be he of the members of this clutch is secured to thehollow motor shaft while. the other member is secured to the shaft23 which p'asse's through the 1101- 'low shaft and is coupled ,with the hollow shaft when the two'fimembersarelocked to i i gether. r y g The wings are madeu of strips 26 of silk; paper or similar materia' hung "from rods 27 which are stretched from the "horizontal shaft 9 to the braces 12 and on ,the' upward,

stroke of the win s these strips or flap, in

consequence oft e resistance of the air, hang vertically, but on the downward stroke of the Wings and forward movementof themachine they assume a horizontal position,

supportedand retained by each other and theadjacen't rods 27'. In orderto give these strips and the entire ring more ri 'idity braces 12. These rods 27 and 28 may be. fine wire as the strain put upon them is very limited and only sufficlent to carry the flaps and resisttheir-upward movement.

As will be seen in-thedrawings the tail is immovable and in the upward'movement of the machine the air above the tail offers. enough resistance" to same to depress it while the oscillation of the wings tends to elevate the whole machine but the de ression ofthe tail throws the upright out of perpendicular an'd'the platform forward maintaining the necessary e uilibrium in the machine. The wheels on t e platform not only act as a ready means for transporting the machine but' are useful in start ng the machine and permitting it to leave the ground but render 1t -moresafe in landing when it permits the machine to run over the ground until finally stopped. The oscillating movement ,of the wings alternately-open and close the flaps 26 and each stroke elevates the machine to a higher point and when descending the wings are allowed to remain stationary when the machine, in conse uence of it'siweight," will slowly descend. ulleys 27. areproVided, wheneverneeded, to ease the movement of the operating cords.

Allthe-parts are necessarily constructed v cross rods '28 are arranged parallel with the shaft 9 and secured to the arms ll and of the lightest material and it will be observed that the parts are few and substantiaL.

It is obvious that various modifications'of the arrangement and construction of the various parts may be resorted to without departing from theessential features above with aplatform having' wheels and carrying a motor, of an upri ht, a lateral stationary.

-with a-movable platform, of a motor, aforked' describe a What I, claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a flying machine the combination shaft carried by t e upright, oscillatin wings on the-shaft, and means connecte with the motor for operating the wings.

2. In a flying machine, the combination upright, alateral stationary bar or shaft, a tail at endpf same, wings hinged to the bar, and means connecting the motor with the wings to cause them to oscillate.

i 3. In a flying machine, the combination Y with a forked upright carried by a movable platform, of a motor on.the platform, a substantially horizontal shaft carried by the upriilght, stays bracing theupright and shaft,

osc atin arms on the shaft, atail on the shaft, an means connecting thearms with j the motor so they may be oscillated onthe shaft.

with a platform having wheels, of a forked upright, of a motor, a cross bar or shaft, a

segments on the arms, a crank arm operated by the motor, cords connecting one of the crank arms with the arms to swing them downward, and cords connectingthe arms with the other crank arm to swing them 'upward.

, 5.. In a flying machine, the combination with a platform having means for moving motor and carriedby the fork, a lateral shaft carried by the upright, hinged arms carried by the shaft, cords connecting the crank arms with-the arms so as to oscillate them, braces connecting the ends of the arms with the shaft, rods parallel with the arms and 4. In a machine, the combination same alongthe ground; of a motor. onsame, a-forked upright, crank arms drlven by the tail, arms carrying swinging flaps or sections,

strung between the braces and 'the shaft
